1 14 April 2009 To: cc: SQA Co-ordinators Secondary Schools and FE Colleges HMIe LEA Contacts SQA Business Development Managers Action by Recipient Contact Name: Emma Bratchell Response required Direct Line: Note and pass on E mail: emma.bratchell@sqa.org.uk None - update/information only Dear Colleague New National Qualifications Group Awards and Units in Music and Sound Production Please pass this letter to the member of staff responsible for Music in your school or college. This letter is an update on new National Qualifications Units in Music and contains important information for session 2009/2010 and subsequent years. Since September 2006, SQA has been working on the development of new Group Awards in Music and Sound Production and these Group Awards will be available from August 2009 onwards. Two new National Certificates will be available: National Certificate in Music (SCQF level 6) and National Certificate in Sound Production (SCQF level 6) These Group Awards are made up of National Qualifications Units and each award has a mandatory and an optional section which is made up of a wide variety of Music/Sound Production and other related Units to provide choice, flexibility and opportunities for specialism. To gain the Group Award qualification 12 credits are required. While it is anticipated that Further Education Colleges will be the main deliverers of the Group Awards, the many new Units will be available for schools to use on a free-standing basis and this may, in turn, offer new articulated pathways in Music/Sound Production to school students. Please remember that if a candidate is entered for a full Course award, eg Higher Music, they must also be entered for the component Units of that Course see the table of page 2 of this letter for details of these. These new Units will be available as additional and/or alternative provision.

2 Music Units: A Guide for 2009/ There is no change at all to any existing National Qualifications Courses in Music, eg Higher Music. All candidates entered for a Music Course award, eg Higher Music, must be entered for and pass the three Units which are known as the Component Units of the Course: Music: Listening (DV41) Music: Composing (DV45) Music: Performing (DV46) or Music: Performing with Technology (DV4F) Any or some of the above Units may also be used as free-standing Units, ie they can be done on a stand-alone basis without the need to sit the full Course. It is very important to note that the new Units, which form part of the new Group Awards, are available as additional/alternative provision but not as alternative Units within an existing Course, eg Higher Music. 2. The National Qualifications Catalogue contains many Music/Sound Production related Units which are available to all schools and colleges. To access the NQ Catalogue go to and click on the orange NQ logo and then Related Links on the right-hand side of the page and access Catalogue of National Qualifications. You will find Unit titles listed alphabetically. 3. To find out what a National Unit is about, centres need to access what is known as the Unit Specification for a particular Unit. This document details the Outcomes, Performance Criteria and the Evidence Requirements which must be met. Unit Specifications also provide useful information on content and context, learning and teaching and assessment. To access any Unit Specification go to and click on the orange NQ logo and then In this section select NQ Unit Search. This allows you to search for a Unit by title or code. 4. A single credit National Qualifications Unit represents a notional 40 hours of delivery time: learning and teaching and assessment. Any NQ Unit must have a completion date and this is set by each individual centre at the point of entering candidates for any Unit. 5. Centres are responsible for the delivery and assessment of any National Qualifications Unit. There is no external assessment by SQA, but centres internal assessment decisions can be subject to verification by SQA. Centres carry out their internal assessment according to the Evidence Requirements set out in the Unit Specification. After the assessment decision has been made centres retain the evidence generated by each candidate. 6. Component Units of Courses, as detailed in 1 above, are supported by National Assessment Bank materials (NABs), which contain the instruments of assessment, marking information and the conditions under which assessment is carried out. A number of the new Units which comprise the new Group Awards (see pages 4 9 for lists of these) are supported by Assessment Support Packs (ASPs). These are very similar to NABs. Currently the mandatory Units of both the Music and Sound Production Group Awards are supported by ASPs and it is anticipated that Assessment Support Packs for more Units may be available in the future. 2
